Just finished my upgrade from Home Premium x64 SP1 to Ultimate x64 SP1. I've been lurking here on the forum for a while now and having seen quite a few folks having problems with their upgrades, I thought a post sharing the steps I took, which resulted in a Smooooth and problem free upgrade, might be of interest to some.
In no way am I advocating or recommending ANY of the steps that are shown here (i.e. turning off the firewall, etc.).
First phase:
-Purchase and download the upgrade to my hard drive (shoparhive.com was less costly than digital locker). Since I live 40 miles away from the nearest store, I preferred the digital download.
-Extract the .iso file using winrar to an empty folder on the desktop.
-Performed full system virus scan.
-Performed full system spyware scan.
-Performed full system backup to the removable HP media drive.
-Burn the downloaded iso file to dvd, and the extracted files to another dvd.
Second phase:....................

Purchased an HP notebook with premium and set it up but did not activate yet. Then purchased an Ultimate Upgrade with anytime upgrade. Installed the upgrade using the key from the bottom of the PC when it asked for the current product key. No errors. Finishes the upgrade and restarts and still is running Home Premium. Why did ultimate not take? We need ultimate to login to a domain.

Just wondering if it's possible to UPGRADE from Vista Premium 64 edition to Ultimate 64 without doing a clean install. I've tried 3 times and it never finishes the "completing Install" stage

I was wondering if I upgraded from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate will it just add the missing features, or do a complete reinstall? When I went from XP to Vista I had to redo everything from scratch. Vista runs great on my XPS M1730 but would like to add the features missing.

Have Vista Home Premium SP1 installed on Dell desktop.
Have been playing Live Search Club and have enough points to get Vista Ultimate. I assume this is full version, not upgrade. Can I use this CD to upgrade to Ultimate or would I have to do clean install and then reinstall all programs and data files?

I have a full version of Home Premium and have been running it for a year or more.
I bought Vista Ultimate upgrade. However when I try and install and upgrade
to Premium I get a message saying.
You need a newer version of this software to upgrade.
I am running Vista SP1. It offers to do a clean install, which I do not want.
What does Ultimate want? It is so vague.
If it is an upgrade it certainly does not need a clean install.

I apologize for the length of this diatribe. Here we go. I bought a new computer two years ago. It. came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I upgraded to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. No problem. I saved a full image of Ultimate to an external HD using Acronis. I did a clean install of Win 7 Beta when it was released. I decided to remove the Win 7 Beta and go back to Vista Ultimate using the Acronis Image. The Acronis image of Vista Ultimate destroyed my boot sector and I could not go back to the Vista Ultimate image so I did a repair using the Win 7 repair DVD I had made. That fixed the boot problem.......

How do you upgrade from Premium to Ultimate if the Premium version number is newer than the Ultimate version number? When I try the upgrade to the Ultimate DVD, the install says that the Premium install is a "newer operating system" and then only allows a clean install, which isn't much fun. Is there any way to tell the install to ignore the version numbers and just do it?

Seems that a number of individuals have had issues with upgrading legitimate copies of Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate. Using the upgrade media provided, the upgrade seems to fail during the last few steps by indicating rather cryptically that a component could not be configured. There is no indiation as to which component didn't get configured.
Now, I do not understand why this should happen. I used the upgrade advisor which indicated to me that the recommended version of Vista was Ultimate and there were no hardware/software/driver issues identified. Why can't I just upgrade then? Why do I have to disable all drivers except for the video, keyboard, and mouse to get a good upgrade? All drivers are Vista certified - I have no hardware whatsoever that isn't certified with Vista and am assuming that this certified hardware comes with certified drivers.
I have been unsuccessful so far in updating my system. I would really love to see Microsoft take ownership here and supply us with an upgrade disk that does what it indicates on the box. I should not have this much difficulty upgrading my system. After all, Microsoft developed the upgrade system and is selling it to the general public. Just insert the disk, add the key, and click install. What could be easier?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I do not really want to go through the hassle of disabling all drivers - if that is required, then instructions should have been included with the update disk on how to do this. Will Microsoft change this and provide a cleaner install DVD. If not, can I get my money back? Should I upgrade to something else?

Is there any way to upgrade from home premium 64 to ultimate 64? I feel kind of silly asking this question because it seems like it should be so simple, but I cannot figure it out.

I have bought the upgrade and the anytime upgrade disc. I am having problems with the upgrade. I have tried twice to do it, the second time was after speaking to microsoft direct services helpdesk. I was walked through the first part of the installation, inserting the disc and to the gathering information stage. I told support I would contact them if it failed again The installation seemed to go ok right through to the last stage where I got a message - "could not configure one or more windows components" My computer then rolled back to vista premium.

I bought a new HP dv7-1175 yesterday and need to upgrade it to Ultimate from my July 2008 disk from my MSDN subscription (Vista with SP1 x64 and x86). When I put in my (valid) activation code is just says "An error has occurred" and to restart the installation. When I bypass the activation and choose the Ultimate x64 it disables the upgrade option. I do not want to do a fresh install because I know what a driver hassle people are having with that option and I am more of an XP experienced installer.

Is there an upgrade from Home Premium 64 to Ultimate 64? If so, would it be
available through an MSDN download?
I'm trying to get my new HP dv7 laptop set up to join my home office domain
so I can transfer files, etc. Home Premium won't allow domain membership! My
son-in-law (network engineer) told me I need Ultimate for that. I don't
really want to do a new install from scratch and have to do clean reinstalls
on all my existing software.

I have XP Pro on my desktop PC & I know that I can stop & disable services. I also know that some services depend on other services to run. So, I have some questions about Home Premium versus Ultimate. First question is: Will Home Premium allow one to stop & disable any services - any services at all?
I want to build a PC & I think that I'd be perfectly happy with Home Premium. But, I might want to try Virtual PC & I know that I need Ultimate for that. I assume that Ultimate is like XP Pro & will allow me to stop & disable services. Am I correct?
For example, I will be the only person using the PC so I don't need Group Policy. Can that service be stopped & disabled? My PC will never be joined to a domain. Can that service be stopped & disabled? I might use the file encryption service. So, in other words, I'd like to make Ultimate more like Home Premium. Can I do that by turning off certain Ultimate features? What are Ultimate Extras?

I've recently needed to reformat my hard drive due to a problem, when I originally received my computer it came with Home Premium which I had upgraded to Ultimate. I have reinstalled Home Premium and have all my programs reinstalled and setup as they should be. Now when I try to reinstall the Ultimate version, whether from the boot cd or from within Home Premium I get the message that 'upgrade is disabled'. I was led to believe
that I could upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I do not remember if I ran into this problem when I first purchased the Ultimate software because it was installed on the computer prior to any software installations.

finally after way to much research, I bought my HP Pavillion Elite m1950f, which comes with Vista Home Premium loaded. About 3-4 months ago, I bought Ultimate Upgrade version and its been sitting idle. So, I try to upgrade today and 3/4 of the way through it says, stopped compatiability problem, restarts, rollbacks, back to square one! I run the MS compat as suggested and it finds a device issue with a driver. So I uninstall the driver, rerun the compat and NO problems, says all GREEN! Attempt 2 time to upgrade, 3/4 through, bingo same problem. Restart, rollback, comp test again, NO problems All Green! The 3rd try same thing. So here I come to the Guru's for your knowledge and wisdom!What am I missing here? Upgrade from Prem to Ultimate I would think would be a walk in the park! When I upgraded my older system from XP to Ultimate, went though first time, not even a hiccup. So can someone show me the light at the end of the tunnel.................

This might be a silly question, but I need some advice. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit, and since the release of windows 7, the price of Vista Ultimate has dropped dramatically. My questions are these. What would be the benefit of upgrading to vista ultimate on a home PC or should I just upgrade to Windows 7?

Trying to upgrade my new Toshiba Satellite laptop from 64 bit VISTA Home Premium to 64 bit VISTA Ultimate Have plenty of space on C: drive - 150GB with approx 50GB used and 100 GB free
While in Home Premium, I insert and run the VISTA Ultimate CD Select upgrade I have it connected to internet so it can retrieve updates. It goes though the process of upgrading but ends with a message similar to Windows could not configure one or more system components. It then reverts back to Home Premium. I have tried performing the upgrade both before and after installing updates to Home Premium- no difference..........

Two days ago, I purchased a PC equpped wit Vista Home Premium. As I need Vista Business as a minimum for other applications, I purchased an upgrade to Ultimate as well. Today I wanted to install the upgradeand everything seemed to go fine, but everytime my PC is restarted, it boots into Home Premium again. Being 50 now, I am a mouse clicker and not an expert if it comes down to software and installation problems. I am sur it is a configuration problem, but I do not know where to start.

I am having to rebuild my computer. On the old system, I was running Vista Home Premium. Now, I am using Vista Ultimate. As everything came crashing down on my old system, I was unable to make backups of everything. However, there is a bright side...the new system is up and running, and I can access what used to be my old 'C' drive. Here's the situation that I need help with: I was (and will be) using Office Outlook 2007 as my email client. I am trying to figure out how to recover the emails that I had on the old system. As I did not get to make a backup before the crash.

i have several 32bit vista ultimates on other machines. the 64bit machine has Home Premium and i'd wanted to go ultimate on it as well. i saw "Anytime Upgrade" and using the name only postponed the upgrade till i had funds and time to do the upgrade. surprise 1, anytime refers to paying for the upgrade. i was sure to use the 64bit machine to order and postponed my expectations on using the ultimate features until the DVD arrived to me in alaska.
since the upgrade order process said it was scanning my machine i was sure i'd get the 64bit disk. surprise 2, disk was the 32bit DVD tho it was plus SP1 so i guess it did scan my machine in some fashion. in the package the instructions on ordering 64 bit media are given. use this web site and order. you'll have to pay even more and wait even longer but you'll get the ultimate upgrade ultimatly. surprise 3 the web site after putting in the product key from the ultimate upgrade dvd package gives the error "No Offer Found"

I could use a second opinion. I've got a HP DV9000 laptop. It runs really well with Home premium on it, but I am considering upgrading to Ultimate so I can use the Remote Desktop and the Backup features. What I am concerned about is if Ultimate will slow down my system or cause me any other problems? I know there's a hack available to make Remote Desktop work on home premium and other backup products too. But it seems like the upgrade would make more sense.
